i ToaZZfI/U'wm 'it may concern: y

i Be it known that I, BnNJAMiN F. Tann, a `citizen of the United States, residing at Fullerton, in the` county ol" Orange and State of Calitornia,have invented new and useliul Improvements in Belt Replaeers, ot

, which the following is a specification.

'It is the object of this invention to pro- `vide means for replacing belts and particu- "p larly adapted forireplacing belts upon large wheels, suoli as the band wheelsoi well drilling rigs. o

The improved construction forms an en tremely simpledevice whereby one operator 1'5 may readily replace a belt upon even a coiny The belt replacing device `includes a cable 4 preferably" having the split ends-S ternir `nating in hooks G which are adapted to be received in suitable eyes 7 provided upon opposite sides ot the wheel 2 adjacent the periphery thereoi". i

ln operation when the belt `has come off oil the band wheel, the upper portion of the belt is placed against the band wheel and the l is received over the Same with the hooks (i engaged in eyes 7. The length oli-the cable is then passedrearwardly i as employed in connection with the i i y o band wheel 2 of a drilling rig,

25 wheelbeing adapted to receive the belt l.

` around the wheel 2 and the endofthe cable may be connected to a suitable windlass 5 or like pulling means positioned convenient to the band wheel.` By winding in the cable the band wheel will thus berotated, and at the same time the split ends of the cable will firmly holdbellt l` to the band wheel so that during rotation of replaced.

the latter the belt will be Various changes may `be made without departing from the spiritv of theinventlon as claimed.

What is claimed is: i

l. ln means orreplacing pulley having means 'for the securing of the a belt upon a split ends of a Cable thereto, a cable adapted to pass around said pulley and having split ends respectively to fsaid pulley` as adapted to be so connected to rotate the saine and simultaneously clamp the belt tol the pulley,

said cable.

andpulling means connected to one end oi' 2. In belt replacing means, eyes upon a pulley, cable adapted to pass around said "pulley, said cable having split ends provided with' means to engage said eyes and thereby clamp a belt to said pulley, and pulling means to whiehone end of said cable is conneoted. Y

4 3. In combination, a pulley having eyes upon the respective sides and adjacent the periphery thereof, a cable having split ends adapted to engage abelt and terminating in hooks adapted to engage said eyes.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification.
